Donor Privacy Statement

The Foundation of Monroe County Community Schools (FMCCS) respects the privacy of our donors. We maintain the following policies to assure our donors that their personal information will be protected and will not be shared with any third party.

Information Collection

FMCCS collects, uses, and maintains the following information from donors:

All credit card information is entered online through a secure page, sent to FMCCS and processed by our staff. Once an online donation is submitted secure measures are in place to ensure that a donor’s credit card information is not compromised.

Information Use

FMCCS will not sell, rent, or lease donor information to other organizations.

FMCCS will use donor information in the following ways:

Help donors complete transactions

Thank donors for their gifts

Update donors about organizational activity

Recognize donors

Distribute gift receipts or statements

Inform donors about upcoming events and fundraisers

Analyze internal productivity and effectiveness

Report to relevant federal and state agencies

Contact donors about changes to this statement

As part of our donor recognition efforts, FMCCS may publicize donor names through its annual report, newsletters, website, and promotional materials (in the case of sponsorships). Generally, the specific gift amount will not be identified, but the donor will be recognized under the level of giving category that is appropriate to their donation. Donors always have the option of remaining “anonymous” when making a donation and will not be publicly recognized.

Access to Information

All access to donor information is strictly limited to FMCCS personnel who need to process data. No unnecessary person, group or organization will be allowed to access such data. Board members may be given information on the names of donors, donor history and the amount of gifts if needed to fulfill their responsibilities as directors of the organization. All board members and staff are required to maintain the confidentiality of donor information.

Opting Out of Mailings and Solicitations

FMCCS contacts donors through direct mail, e-mail, and telephone. Any donor may request that the Foundation remove them from the FMCCS mailing list and/or specify the method of contact.
